Let's divide 715887 by 72
We want to divide 715887 by 72.

Step 1:
72 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 72

On to step 2:
If we divide 71 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 71 leaves us with 71.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 71, then repeat: 715 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
72 goes into 715 9 times with a remainder of 67.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 648 from 715 to get 67.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 678 / 72

Moving on to step 4:
The number 72 fits into 678 9 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 99.0
If we take 648 away from 678, we end up with 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 72

On to step 5:
72 goes into 308 4 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 994.0
Subtracting 288 from 308 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 207 / 72

Step 6:
The number 72 fits into 207 2 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9942.0
If we take 144 away from 207, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
630 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9942.8
Subtract 576 from 630 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 540 by 72, we get 7 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9942.87
Subtracting 504 from 540 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 9942.875
If we subtract 360 from 360, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9942.875
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9942.875
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9942.875 with a remaining 0.0.
